I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds this movie uncomfortable to not go see it. Not only does it trivialize our history, it makes it seem like all black people are out to get white people (again). SMH...

Spike's portrayal of Malcolm X was disrepectful. It focused on blacks betraying one another more so than their plight against the white man during the 60's. When whitey finally gave him some money to make one of his horrible films, that nigga sold the fuck out. Now he's talking bout being disrespectful to his ancestors? Nigga please! He always been on some jealousy shit with other film makers, the definition of a hoe ass nigga!

The actors won awards on Jacky jaspers website. Too funny!! Why isnt Holocaust movies done with a Jew killing a German? Because they own Hollyweird AKA Wally's World and has no knowledge what Black people will pay to watch. We showed TP we wasnt watching his crappy movies and we need to hit Wally's World the same IN THEIR POCKETS. STAY HOME!!!

I LOVE THE MOVIE MALCOLM X, IF YOU READ THE BOOK THE MOVIE WASNT FAR OFF. IT WAS THE SAME IN THE BOOK. IT WASNY WALLY'S WORLD WITH A BLACK MAN SAVING A WHITE LADY IN THE END. PLUS IT WAS BLACK FOLKS MONEY TO HELP SAVE THE FILM. WHITE FOLKS CUT HIM OFF. UH DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE MOVIE AND THE MONEY!!!

First off, I'm not going to see this movie because I don't like slavery movies. Secondly, I saw the previews of this movie like everyone else here, but I didn't pick up on the disrespect factor that Spike and you posters are referring to. Can someone tell me how this film is disrespecting our ancestors?Speaking of black disrespectful films, Mr. Spike should reevaluate a few of his films. i.e. 'She's got to have it' This movie portrayed the black woman as a loose oversexed bed hopping --------- fill in the blank. Blaxploitation at it's finest.

@9:23, ain't nothing funny about Jacky jaspers white owned site. He's always calling out sell outs but jackys ass is white owned, makes him the biggest sell out of all. Always saying bw sucked and fucked to be successful, what's funny about that. His white owner has him ripping black crowns to shreds. Jacky came in the game dissing bloggers who were in the game longer than him. Never saw a man this messy and he'll never be top dawg in the blogging game, too many enemies and women bloggers rule. Hey Jacky, tell everyone why u won't do any stories on AIDS.

- @ 9:23am - You never heard of the movie called "Inglorious Bastards?" It's about Jews who infiltrate Nazi German so they can kill as many Nazi's as possible. Another Tarantino flick so your comment is wrong. I'm just sayin...

@10;34 This is a gossip comment section on a BLACK BLOG. There are no right or wrong answers here and if you dont like my comment then kiss my black azz. NOPE I DIDNT SEE THAT MOVIE AND NO I WONT SEE THIS MOVIE EITHER. This is not a college term paper or thesis, your answer is wrong GTFOWBS. Have a seat on the white bogs!!! ijs

SNITCH, SPIKE LEE STATED THIS TOO:

American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust.My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa.I Will Honor Them.--------------------------------------

Okay first of all. Who in the hell is Spike Lee? Spike ass don't represent all black people. Remember Spike Lee got sued By Sara Lee for trying to boost his sales by making folks believe he was related to her. Remember also Spike Lee tried to sue Spike Tv for using his name. Buddy you should have gotten your name trademark along time ago enough about Spike. Let's focus on Quentin Tarantino.

Quentin Tarantino. Okay. Here is a white guy who movie Grindhouse, remember that movie. It flopped at the box office so bad that it made all of Eddie Murphy and Tyler Perry films look good! Okay so Quentin Tarantino use to kick it with Shar Jackson from Moesha! Remember her who got two kids by Britney stanken fat man! So Quentin been hanging around blacks. Why? Cause he wants to do a black movie and black movies always mean success at the box office especially if there is race involved. Why is he doing this movie. Simple. He wants a OSCAR. Lets see. Racist ass movies that won OSCARS. Let me just name the women.

WHOOPI GOLDBERGHALLE BERRYJENNIFER HUDSONMONIQUEHATTI MCDANIEL

Wake up people. Any racist movie portraying blacks in a sterotype way wins a Oscar nod. Check for yourself. Quentin Tarantino movie was suppose to come out in March of 2013. But since he was so stuck on getting a OSCAR nomination he pushed it to December because the movie has to be made this year in order to receive next years OSCAR nod. A OSCAR nod means more movies and more success and Quentin Tarantino will be a house hold name. This ass hole use to work as a video clerk for God's sake! Wake up people! This is a big ass joke! Trust me Quentin Tarantino thinking 'yeah okay, let me do a film where the black man gets to kill all of the white people and that will satisfy the blacks and whitey will think it's hilarious! Of course we know house nigga Jamie Foxx gone be in the movie along with that old ass fart Samuel Jackson and that turd with the dooky lips Kerri Washington. This ain't about Spike Sara Spike Tv Lee. It's just about Hollywood and Quentin Tarantino ran out of ideas just like Tyler Perry has so now he just made a racist film to attract attention to whitey and blacks to win a OSCAR.

@10;24 SNITCH IS AN WHITE SITE TOO THATS GET PAID FOR POSTING THE SAME FOLKS BECAUSE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CAST THEM AWAY.IMO JACKY JASPER 5TH ANNUAL BUCKWHEAT AWARDS IS FUNNY AS HELL.

I'M OLDER AND WISER NOW, SO MOVIES ABOUT SLAVERY DOESN'T BOTHER ME ANYMORE. I WILL WATCH THE MOVIE WHEN IT COMES TO CABLE.*SAMUEL L. JACKSON IS AN EXCELLENT ACTOR!

I'm not going to see this isht either. It's a Quentin Tarrentino film, which means that it is not going to be educational or leave anyone with a useful message. It's going to be another piece of shock cinema with over-the-top violence AND gratuitous use of the 'N' word--in short, a cringe-fest. I like Tarrentino, but there is nothing entertaining about slavery, and I dont care to see his interpretation of it. Maybe I'll catch it on bootleg or something. But I doubt it.

@10:53, Jacky get outta here plugging ur ratchet site and rigged comments. To get to 177 comments, u and white boy darrick and psycho Keith must have stayed up all night rigging and posting under alias names. Ya don't have families to spend Christmas with?

I agree! Fuck Jacky Jasper. He is a nobody and he probably do have the MONSTER! He a snake and he always hides behind those glasses and them hats and he has nothing else to do all day but sit at his computer screen and watch his sorry ass website and erase messages that talk about his nobody ass. Jacky stands for Jack ass and Jack off because that is what he is. Diary of a Hollywood street trick ain't nothing but a cult website and all of his followers worship Jacky Jacky nobody ass and he a old ass man with a smelly stinky dick!

I understand your point,Spike but you're promoting liquor in the black community,that's disrespectful.You had Tarantino in one of your films.if you don't like the guy...don't pay him to appear in your movies.

I agree with Spike on this one. Tarantula is an ass hole. There was another movie from the 60-70's called Django, by some italian asshole, so Tarantula just made it more racist and violent.

Hollywood does not support positive material about blacks. We have to do that ourselves, because trust and believe they do not care. Cause if you know what a glorious history on this planet our ancestors had you might rise up and take your rightful place on this planet-the first one.

I haven't liked Tarantula since Reservoir Dogs. He makes movies like the video clerk he is. Some Blacks in Hollywood, don't support other or new writers. They see anyone new as a threat.

I say quit begging these crackers to do what you know they are never going to do. The internet is the new means of delivery for entertainment. That's why Hollywood fights so hard against movie and music sites. They have no control, unless you pay money to go see shit, and if you do, they gonna keep shoveling you shit.

They know their time is limited. I wouldn't pay any of my hard earned money or devote any of my brain cells to this mockery.

LOL@10:59AM, is that part of the Annual Rhymes With Snitch House Nigga Awards?

11:08 AM ------------No its on the Diary of a Hollywood Street King's website.. The 5th Annual Buckwheat Awards. I couldnt stop laughing and no I am not Jacky, just someone who reads his annual list. I guess folks who are mad are him for putting out the list must be on it!!

I agree w most of the commenters here. When I saw the previews 4 DOO DOO UNCHAINED I couldn't stop cringing!! I will not b paying 2 c this shyt! I like Spike Lee's version of Malcolm X so lay off the BS!!

You all are aware that there WERE many...many slave revolts, right? That were extremely bloody? It wasn't just despair, tolerance by the po downtrodden slaves and then BAM the Emancipation Proclamation. I don't know about Spike, but I KNOW my ancestors fought back in a grimy way on multiple occasions and in several countries. I'm not sure how portraying a slave getting back at the owner is disrespect. See Nat Turner, folks. Tarantino is a shock invoking film maker, so expecting any of his films to be different is setting yourself up for disappointment. For the person who said there's never a film portraying Jews in that way, heard of Inglorious Basterds? This is what Tarantino does. He's not my cup of tea, but he's not full on lying either.

^^^Bullshit. Spike didn't complain about Friday, Devil with a Blue Dress, Juice, The Wire, Ray, the list goes on. Spike has a Beef with Tyler Perry and Tarantino. And he's right about both of those filmmakers exploiting black stereotypes to the detriment of black people.

What rock have you been living under? Quentin Tarantino has been a household name since the 90s.

I saw parts of the original script for this Django film, and it included a gang rape scene, and some other foul shit.

Kerry is going around claiming that the movie has a feminist message for women... GTFOHWTBS!

I'm not even gonna speak on Jamie Foxx... and Sam Jackson has been hyping this movie too-- you know he and Quentin are good friends and they go way back. Quentin put Sam on the map, so he's never gonna have anything bad to say about him. Sam has been acting since Quentin was in middle school, but he didn't get any mainstream hype until Pulp Fiction.

And in any regular QT movie, you know they gotta try to break the world record for the number of times they say "nigger" on screen.

I won't be spending $20 on that bullshit. If you want to spend your money on watching white racists rape, abuse, and murder black folks (for no educational purpose--- just for laughs), go for it.

Talk about bleaching the girl in that movie used to be dddddaaaaaaarrrrrrkkkkkk as hell. I was on Hulu and saw a updated version of the twilght zone movie with the black guy as narrator. She was so dark I couldn't believe that was her. I wondering what in the world did she use to get so light all over?

Black people, we really need to cut the shit. We either want to face the sick reality of slavery or not. We complain about the dismissal of our history. Then a movie about slavery comes out, and we complain that it's promoting negative stereotypes. Then we complain when the director or producer is White, and because they are White, they shouldn't be telling our story. But then when the director/producer is Black, we complain that they're cooning, a House negro, or an Uncle Tom (we when are using that term in the absolute WRONG context to begin with). Then when said House negro does not touch on slavery in their films, we complain that they won't talk about slavery and act like it never happened. Then when a movie about slavery is made, we complain that it shouldn't be trivialized and we shouldn't make or watch movies about slavery. At what point do we stop COMPLAINING about shit when it comes to our portrayal in mass media? What does it really take? Like, for real.

Tyler 'buffoon house nigga' Perry made 350 million dollars off of us blacks with that garbage he puts out! Tyler faggot ass Perry owe blacks restitution for pain and suffering from watching his God awful films!!! FUCK TYLER PERRY!

@11:22

I agree. FUCK JACKY JASPER!

@12:19

EVERYBODY got a beef with Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry movies promote buffoonism and his movies are a joke and hollywood sees Tyler Perry as a safe house negro and hollywood will never ever take blacks serious. We thought we got over the drag queen look thanks to Eddie Murphy. Then Martin Lawarence, now Tyler Perry trying to Act like Eddie Murphy and now all black men must degrade black women to make a buck at the box office!

@12:20

What homeless shelter have you been living under. Quentin Tarantiti is not a house hold name and I agree that he is trying to get the Oscar nod. Check out L A Weekly idiot.

@12:45 I agree. Let's make a example and vote not to see this racist film and hopefully this movie will flop.

10:02 she's gotta have it was actualy spike lee's personal story about himself and how he dated different women and could not make up his mind about them...what he did was flip it and made the main character a woman and all the dudes had similar qualities/personalities of the women he dated...people do that all the time, and did you REALLY think he wouldve gotten the film made if it was a story about a black man and all of the women he bedded? get real. and yes, he had a gay friend who tried to push up on him! LOL!

Spike Lee is no authority on issues pertaining to Black, African, Colored, Negro or whatever people of the African diaspora. Black historians, activists, elderly, etc., should come together and tell the true stories of the African people, but that won't happen largely due to the lack of funding and public interest. Most films on such history are not box office draws and they can't become hits if they can't attract the people.

The movie that should have gone in depth into slavery was the recent film on President Lincoln, titled simply "Lincoln". What's a film on Lincoln without slavery? Distorted history. Basically a lie.

Spike Lee wants to be relevant so bad lol you think his simple ass would try to collab with Tyler Perry so he could get his movies funded but NOOOOO he rather talk shit in the press about the man lol They both could learn a lot from each other(Spike and Tyler). As for Tarantino, if you seen his movies then you know what it will be, plenty of gore, gratuitous use of the N word, kick ass music, and random ass dialogue. You don't have to be a fan.......

@1:31 PMQT made this movie so he, through his characters, could call black folks NIGGER and BLUE GUM monkeys and other crazy racist names for black folks. ---------------------------------------------------Blue Gum monkey? What the hell is that?

I don't know what the hell you guys are taking about ..The way slavery was depicted in this moive was accurate . And if you know your history , in real life it was worse . They shot the movie in Louisiana on a real Plantation in Louisiana that is still there today . Not some fake Hollywood back lot . So Quentin Tarantino had the guts to tell some of the truth about slavery not trying to suger coat it ..like most movies ...some young black youth don't even know there own history about slavery . They are disrespectful to there elders who were apart of the civil rights movement today . So they need to be giving there history in the raw ! And maybe they will have a better understanding of the opportunities and freedom we all have been giving today .

Spike Lee does not support anyone but SPIKE LEE. If this depiction was disrespectful then make a movie that shows a more respectful depiction.

This is real, and raw but not as real or raw as the reality of young girls raped, beaten and slain on a regular basis, just because. Not as real as young boys castrated, violated and beaten, just because. Not as real as men and women being made to breed, and have children together only to watch those children torn apart.

So Spike, maybe this movie is disrespectful to you, but slavery, rape, murder, assault, sodomy, that's all disrespectful too.

Bravo at 11:22, I can't stand Jacky Jasper, he will be 57 years old in 2013. What 57 year old man do u know, is that messy? The folks he crucifies are young enough to be his grandchildren. He has no audience, if he gets over 5 comments, he's rigging. He's stuck in a superfly time capsule, glorifying Pimps and calling every black woman a whore. He involves himself in every story cause he wants to be famous so bad, lied about playing on a Ike Turner record, lied about knowing Deion Sanders, Joe Jackson and Tommy Hearns. Lied about

You guys would rather cosign some exploitative bullshit from Quentin Tarantino than to listen to what Spike is saying.

@ the person who mentioned "Lincoln":

That movie was about the politics behind getting the 13th Amendment passed. The whole point of the movie was to show how many backroom deals and other shenanigans went down in order to keep the amendment on the table. Real politicking. Adding a bunch of scenes depicting the brutality of slavery was beside the point. The entire film was about how the country was divided about the very idea of slavery.

They didn't try to pretend that anti-slavery whites were not racist. They showed how being anti-slavery was all about leveling the playing field between small farmers and business owners and the rich people who had larger profits because they unfairly benefitted from free labor (slavery).

@11:56, dummy, ain't nobody in Hollywood mad they made Jackys list, he's too obscure to harm their careers. He will never be Harvey Levine or Sandra Rose. He doesn't have the power or audience to affect anybody's career. He will never be a celebrity Blogger because his content is too gutter. He tries to act like he down for the disenfranchised but he's white owned. He's a old coon who doesn't even own his name, that white boy, where somebody posted a drug trafficking record on, he owns Jacky like a runaway slave. He tries to hide his age behind those shades and caps. He needs to start acting his age. Kool Keith is cool, Jacky stay riding his coattails with his no talent ass.

@10:47, your post is all over the place, but I did glean some truths in that rant...having said that: How did Jennifer Hudson end up on that list? I'm asking for clarification purposes. Her portrayal of Effie was in no way demeaning, nor was it racially offensive. The fact that she was heavyset then can't be a factor, it was simply a version of Dreamgirls the Broadway play. I do agree the others on your list were given Oscars when they portrayed roles that denigrated black women. I for one, will NOT be spending my money to see D'Jango I have no f%#^* to give about the "TRUE" meaning behind the movie. Who Tarantino slept with has no value here, the bottom line is most people walk around in under educated bubbles

I was done with Jacky when I read online where people were posting that young girls were being drugs, they were eluding to sex trafficking, I would've believed it but ole boy always bragging about being a pimp and praising Don Juan. What Blogger makes diss videos of celebrities, his ass wants to be part of the story. He's grimey, ugly old trash. A lot of peeps don't who he is but he calls himself this icon. Trashed Fred but Fred paid, dissed Nicole Bitchie and Sandra but they good and paid and called Panache a nigger bitch they were going to put out of business so they could get her audience, Jacky was suppose to replace PR, him and the white boy conspired, he real jealous of other bloggers who are paid, called Nicole

Lets focus people the bottom line is this. Quentin Tarantino wants a Oscar and he used the same old slavery routine to do it. I don't believe that any one black wants to see a movie about slaves. It's about to be 2013. Why are we still talking about slavery! If it is up to Hollywood and crackers like nobody Quentin Tarantino. They will continue to make movies disprespecting blacks because that's what white folks do and that is the way hollywood feel about blacks folks in general. Blacks are nothing but slaves, maids and entertainment to the white man. Just don't watch the film people and have a wonderful christmas or what ever you celebrate and a happy new year!

I thought I was being too sensitive about this movie....but Spike is right. If Spike or any other black director made a movie about Anne Frank killing a bunch of Nazis white people would go crazy! Fuck Tarantino and fuck Jamie Foxx's Uncle Tom ass for participating in this shit.

Fuck Jennifer Hudson. She a sorry as sell out bitch just like the rest of them ho's in hollywood. Jennifer Hudson is a nobody. Everything on her body sags. Her face sags. Her breast sags. Her ass sags. All them bitches in hollywood don't represent shit but paychecks. Fuck Spike Lee. Fuck Quentin Tarantino and fuck everybody that sells out to the white man!

I just saw Spike Lee a few weeks ago downtown Los Angeles with new york cabs shooting something and he looks exactly like that photo. Old as fuck. He couldn't be my man. I would whip his ass and make him dye his shit black. Just because you old don't mean you got to look old damn! Fix your shit up damn! Spike can't be trying to hold my hand in public looking like a homeless man on crack WTF! Quentin Tarantino hate black people that is why I am so surprised he went this route! Disgusting is all I have to say and I won't be watching any of his disrespectful trash!

Yeah, Jacky was a PR exposer, never seen so many old ass folks caught up in juvenile shit, Jacky in his late 50's, Keith L. Watson is 42, Phyllis Dilworth aka Technogeek is late 40's and Darrick Angelone is late 30's. Jacky can get his ass sued off, jealous competitor trying to smear and close down a competing site. Tried to copy their format with blind items and used to straight jack their content while steady dissing them. Hope his long list of enemies sue his ass.

Blacks say that they want a real slavery movie. Well a real slavery movie would consist of white masters keeping little black boys as their pets. it would consists of the white masters forcing black men and women to have sex in front of their white masters, it would be a film depicting black slaves being forceed to have sex with animals. The truth is that the reality of slavery would be too traumatic for the modern American to bear. And while Spike Lee is talking, why didn't he make a credible film on Malcom X. Why didn't he depict the actual work Malcom did, why wasn't there a depiction of Malcom X working in Africa, helped established the first African Union, or how while he was in Africa with Maya Angelou, and the great Muhammed Ali totally ignored him, because he left the nation of Islam for the traditional Islam. Why didn't he discuss in his movie, how Malcom X first experience with colorism was with his black father being so problack, but treated him better and wouldn't spank him because he was lighter than his other syblings.

Tarantino is trying to follow in the footsteps of his exploitative Italian director predecessors Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi. The same directors responsible for Goodbye Uncle Tom. If you haven't seen it trust me, it's not for sensitive Black folk.

Goodbye Uncle Tom was a spaghetti slave movie set in the antebellum south that wasn't for the faint of heart.

Django Unchained is a spaghetti slave movie set in the antebellum south and Tarantino has a reputation.

@ 9:23 you obviously haven't seen Inglorious Basterds... Very good film... I plan on seeing it.. I mean how can you be mad at the use of a word during this time... Spike until you make a movie (correctly portraying slavery in your eyes) please have a seat... Its personal for Spike.. He didn't say a thing with Amistad which was directed by Spielberg..

I don't know why a movie like this needed to be made in 2012. Quentin goes too far and from what I understand wants to be the King of Blaxploitation films. And then you have Samuel Jackson running around telling everybody that will listen, his character will be the most hated on film ever. Is that a surprise when you're playing a MAJOR TOM COON?! The word n*gger is abused to no end in the film by Leonardo Dicaprio, which he probably enjoyed and who the fuck wants to see Kerry Washington get raped not once but twice. I haven't seen the film, but really now. What's the damn point of this film? It damn sure ain't for educational purposes. Jamie Foxx and Kerry W. already said how uncomfortable they were making it....that says it all. A damn shame they already nominated this disrespectful shit for a golden globe. Just one more slavery film, made by another white guy to exploit our history for entertainment. I'm with Spike. Alex Haley told this story already.

Who cares!!! Black people don't respect one another!! We in the black community use colorism all the time to the point were you have black men worshipping white women and anything light! Then We have the nerve to be mad at a white man! Give me a break all of you are guilty of bigotry against other blacks you hypocrites! I see how you guys go back and forth and spew hate towards one another and worship every other race but your own!

Wake UP Blacks! We are the biggest bigots towards one another! Who the fuck are we to be mad at whites when we practice the same hatefulness towards other blacks! We are horrible towards be other then use racism as a tool against other races to get our way!!

@1:26, 1:35 - some truth in your comments, but you don't seem to be a "black" at all. you don't have to be to make a comment here, though. last sentences kind of jumped the tracks. not true. gotta go, tea is ready. merry christmas...
